Snow Leopard Install Failure
| August 31st, 2009After being excited about Snow Leopard for quite some time now and getting it the day after release. I’m pissed off. It just won’t install. I’ve tried for hours on several computers for days and it just hangs. Now reading, I see that dozens upon dozens are having this problem, and it is indeed as I suspected. Faulty duplication. Upon examination of my disk I see that the culprit is the same as all other reports … Mediagate something or other “Recorded in Singapore!” mine is B09 000124, but I’ve seen reports of 000119. I guess I get to make another trip down to Ginza to see if they’ll deign to replace this thing (though I hear from most all that stocks are sold out and in many instances Apple blamed the user in the earliest cases – though have now backed off of that – and just have been saying to keep checking). After all this, the Air has zero OS because, of course, clean install is the best idea if the install DVD does not fail. This “master” DVD even fails verification in Disk Utility! I never thought to check that. URGH!
I have had a similar problem, i have been trying to install it for hours and got an error that it cannot find support files… After 4 phonecalls to apple care and trying many things including a clean install they told me it could be the installing disk so now i have to wait another 4 days to get this. I was very dissapointed by this because it was out of my mind that this would happen.. I will see in 4 days when it arrives….
